Yes, a preprint will never look as good to grant panels as a paper in Nature. But also, a preprint hasn't been peer reviewed, and that is an important step in the process. Both could be overcome to produce a less predatory system, but it would need a radical overhaul of process and, quite frankly, scientists' sentiment.
